The Thirteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution abolished slavery and involuntary servitude. The only exception is for punishment for a crime.
The 13th Amendment completely abolished slavery and involuntary servitude unless it was for a crime. The main purpose was to abolish slavery. It passed during the Civil War. It was apart of the Emancipation Proclamation. However, the main point was to free the slaves in the Union.
